Psal. 46.1. God is our Refuge.
1 O Holy and Eternal One, Thou art a Refuge sure; Help us to fly to thee alone, Whose Mercies do endure.
2 A Refuge strong thou art, O Lord, Help us to fly to thee: Shall we take hold of thy blest Word, And safe for ever be?
3 O Lord we bless and praise thy Name, There is a Refuge found; For us who are pursued hard, This is a joyful sound.
4 O Souls, then see with speed we pray To Jesus Christ to fly, Lest th' Avenger, through delay, O retake you, and you die.
